The 10 best battles and fights on Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones airs its final episode this Sunday, bringing to a close eight seasons of heartbreak, political machinations, and perhaps most importantly, stunning physical battles. The combat on Game of Thrones has ranged from epic clashes between huge armies to intimate one-on-one duels. So, as the finale approaches, we looked back and compiled some of our most favorite fights from across the show’s run.10. Ned Stark and friends vs.
8. Night’s Watch vs. the Wildlings, “The Watchers on the Wall” Many of the best moments in Game of Thrones either involved friends turning on each other, or foes becoming friends. This battle included both. Jon Snow stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ser Alliser Thorne , a man who gave him nothing but grief since he first joined the Night’s Watch, in order to defend Castle Black against the unified wildling horde.
6. Battle of Winterfell, “The Long Night” The final stand against the Night King took a lot from Lord of the Rings’ Helm’s Deep sequence, but one thing the showrunners didn’t mimic was that battle’s incredibly vivid night-time lighting. It was clearly a strategic choice. Unlike almost any other fight in Game of Thrones, the Battle of Winterfell wasn’t just a contest over land or wealth but a war between the cold darkness of oblivion and the roaring fire of life.
5. Cleganebowl, “The Bells” Many fans hoped that they might see a Cleganebowl one day. After all, the Hound had long been one of the show’s most interesting characters, and the Mountain had committed such grievous acts of carnage that it felt like he deserved epic comeuppance from his original victim. Yet, even so, few fans probably expected that not only would a Cleganebowl happen, but it would end up being…the climax of the entire episode, pretty much.
This episode is a great example of the show’s unique strengths, because the massacre at Hardhome is unseen in George R.R. Martin’s novels. Benioff and Weiss decided to give us a full view of the White Walkers’ carnage, and in so doing set up the perfect coming-out party for director Miguel Sapochnik’s work on the show.
